Also, check out the Doraemon pop-up, plenty of arcade game machines and fun activity stations. For those who love taking photos, discover Japanese Insta-worthy corners by KLOOK: namely the Zen Garden pop-up and Dotonburi display at Level 6, as well as Torii Gate at Level 3.
Adding to the excitement, JEMY 2019 returns for an immersive 3-day all-Japan event gathering Japan’s most iconic cultures, music, anime, art, fashion, food, travel and live entertainment to Malaysia.
